Alternative to Fuzion Nov 14, 2006 I have been on Fuzion for 2 ears now. Along with Norvir,Protvase and Truvada. I am unable to give myself the injection due to a spnal cord injury So, I have to rely on someone to do this for me. I would like as much independence as posible. Any suggstions? Thanks |

Response from Ms. Salisbury
 Hi, I can understand why injectable medications are difficult. There will be 2 new drug classes coming soon. Both are oral. One is in expanded access(this means your practitioner has to apply for its use through the company). It is an intergrase inhibitor-which stops the virus from integrating into the nucleus (center) of the T-cell. The second is a entry inhibitor which stops the virus from attaching to the T-cell. This is in phase 4 trials and probably you could enroll in the clinical trials if you meet the criteria. I think you should be able to substitute one or both for the Fuzeon in the near future. Take care. |
